Abstract. The North Atlantic Climate System: Integrated Study (ACSIS) was a large multidisciplinary research programme funded by the United Kingdom’s Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). ACSIS ran from 2016–22 and brought together around 80 scientists from seven leading UK-based environmental research institutes to deliver major advances in understanding North Atlantic climate variability and extremes. Here we present an overview of the data generated by the ACSIS programme. The datasets cover the full North Atlantic System comprising: the North Atlantic Ocean, the atmosphere above it including its composition, Arctic Sea Ice and the Greenland Ice Sheet. Atmospheric composition datasets include measurements from 7 aircraft campaigns (between 3 and 10 flights each, 0–10 km altitude range) in the north eastern Atlantic (~40° W–5° E,~15° N–55° N) made at intervals of from 6 months to 2 years between February 2017 and may 2022. The flights measured chemical species (including greenhouse gases, ozone precursors and VOCs) and aerosols (organic, SO4, NH4, NO3, and nss-Cl) (https://dx.doi.org/10.5285/6285564c34a246fc9ba5ce053d85e5e7 (FAAM et al. (2024)). Ground based stations at the Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory (CVAO), Penlee Point Atmospheric Observatory (PPAO) and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) recorded ozone, ozone precursors, halocarbons, as well as greenhouse gases (CO2, methane), SO2 and photolysis rates.
